I totally agree with Law Dog. The spypoint flex-M, 2 pack for $109 on Amazon, super easy to set up, and once they are loaded on your phone, are easier to use than normal cameras. And 100 photos per month free. If that fills up its $$5 a month for 250 photos. I've bought a few spypoint cellular cameras every year and now Have enough cameras now that the yearly $99 membership is a way better deal. The app also has a map on it showing where your cam is. So of one goes missing, you can locate it.

But the main reason I like them is I know its working. There have been may times I've put out a camera and forgot to turn in on, or the camera just stops working. Or i think i have the angle I want, only to find our a few weeks later that I didnt. You can also set how often you want the camera to send you pictures, and a setting where the camera with take a picture at those times. Mine are all set for 7am and 7pm. If I dont get a picture, I know something is wrong with the camera and I can go figure out what the issue is. The Felx Plus even let's you remotely (through the app) have the camera take a picture and send it to you right then.

And if you are worried about if its difficult to use, here is a screen shot of my app. They made it very simple and straight forward.

If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

So is it $99 per camera? Or a $99 flat fee for all your cameras? I went on their website and I couldn't find any real information. Looking to get a couple cameras to put on some cat sets that we could monitor without walking back in on them everyday.

I didn't even know there were different classes of SD cards!! If that's the case, I doubt any of the ones I currently have will work in it.

If you join the club you get 250 photos a month for every camera be it 1 or whatever you will get the 100 free for every camera if that’s enough for you it cost you nothing then just set the triggering tighter to cut false triggering. If you go over your allotted amount of photos the Spypoint still captures the photo on the card at no cost to you.

I have SpyPoint Flex G36 been easy enough for me to figure out. Work plenty decent for my use. Been running steady since April. I did get a two camera pack with the needed cards in the package. Was at Farm Fleet see one twin pack left on clearance. At first I was trying to figure out why I could buy to single cameras for a few dollars cheaper than sale price on twin pack. Then I realized the single cameras each needed a SIM card and SD card. Didn't take me much to figure out the twin pack price was deal.

My Flex M cams take a micro card my other cams take the regular SD card so they can be different in different models and brands some don’t take a SD card at all it either sends a photo or you don’t get it that’s the good thing about having a SD card.

I'm as illiterate as can be when it comes to phones/cameras and about anything electronic.

I decided to TRY and get one of my Muddy trail cams hooked up.

IT WAS A BREEZE, EVEN FOR ME. Just fo?lower what the app said and bingo.

Cost is $5 a month for 600 pics and it says I can suspend the app on months I don't figure on using it.

Highly recommend.


There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

YouTube is your friend on the learning scale for your type of cam but like everything on the web take it with a grain of salt, lots of tips and tricks to be had. I think the cell cam industry is lax in promoting the ease of use of the cell cam, that held me back from getting into them sooner. Usually if I’m working with electronic devices I have to check the heart rate monitor on my watch to see how high it’s getting. LOL

Never even busted a sweat setting my new cams up it was surprisingly simple it’s all laid out for you step by step. Trying to set up my new iPad was nowhere near as easy I finally took it to a pro.
